Answer:

266 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement

  • 4 hours and 45 minutes

Clearly, 45 is 3/4th of an hour. Thus, this statement can also be written as:

  • ⇒ 4 hours and 3(Hour)/4 minutes
  • ⇒ 4 hours + 3(Hour)/4 minutes
  • ⇒ 4 hours + 0.75(Hour)
  • ⇒ 4.75 hours

We are given that:

  • 56 miles per hour

When we convert this statement into an equation, we get:

  • ⇒ 56 miles = 1 hour

Multiply both sides by 4.75 to obtain the distance in 4.75 hours.

  • ⇒ 56 × 4.75 miles = 1 hour × 4.75
  • ⇒ 266 miles = 4.75 hours
